I have eaten here twice and enjoyed both experiences. They do have a gluten free/vegetarian/vegan menu at the counter with GF items marked (I uploaded a pic of it). They also have a full bar, something you don’t find in many BBQ restaurants. BBQ was lean, but tasty. All of the pork is locally sourced. I got the collards and cucumber/onion salad for sides and enjoyed both.

I am very unsure of why this place had a five star rating on here as the staff was clueless as to what menu items were gluten free. When I referenced the ingredient list I saw posted on here they looked at me like I had a third head. Finally spoke to a manager who started to look through the menu and say “well that surely isn’t gluten free, that probably is, that definitely isn’t” without a care in the world. Needless to say I didn’t actually eat there.

Delicious BBQ! They had an ingredient list that I could use to see what was GF, and sides are labeled as GF. Most of their meats and some sides are GF and safe! I loved my meal there.

Great BBQ place! They have a list of all the ingredients used in every dish, so you can check for yourself if you have any concerns about anything. The collards and baked beans don't use soy sauce anymore, so they're gluten free now, too! I had the waitress double check given the previous review here that said they weren't safe, and she was happy to do so.
